TWITTER COMPLAINERS

  • Vinnie receives a lot of tweets every day.
    • Most are positive.
  • Recently, however, he received a tweet saying Vinnie is “biased against bodybuilders… even natural ones.”
    • This is just so off-base.
  • Vinnie, however, doesn’t advocate for drug use or unhealthy eating to get a ‘bodybuilder bod.’
    • A lot of bodybuilders eat like complete crap until the week of their competition––any type of erratic eating like this isn’t good!
  • If you’re eating well and gaining lots of muscle, Vinnie is all for it!
  • Vinnie himself was built like a healthy bodybuilder when he played college ball.
    • He ate lots of eggs and steak and the like.

HIKING DURING THE PANDEMIC

  • For some people, hiking trails may be closed.
  • If they’re not, take advantage of them.
    • However, be safe.
  • KEEP YOUR DISTANCE from other people.
  • If you see others, give them a wide berth.
  • Make sure you aren’t touching anyone or anything.
  • Keep your dogs on leash to avoid human contact.

SHAPING YOUR BODY

    • There are good compound movements which will help you get good looking legs and glutes.
  • If you’re completely out of shape, start with lunges without any weight.
  • Vinnie runs through a few particular movements with Anna.
  • Work up your muscle memory – have your brain get used to these movements.

Walking is Great Exercise- Episode 1188

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1188 – The wonderful Gina Grad joins Vinnie for this Sunday School episode, and they discuss walking as a great form of exercise, crazy bro science fads, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

WALKING AS GREAT EXERCISE

  • Gina broke her foot
  • In a little exoskeleton in place of a cast
  • Using crutches, keeping weight off of it for a few weeks

    • Walks everywhere, all the time!
  • Walking is real exercise
    • Also a form of meditation
    • Use the time to disconnect from technology, just enjoy your surroundings or your company

BRO SCIENCE

  • Breast milk is the new fad for pre-workout bro science
  • Do NOT drink breast milk before you work out – unnecessary
    • Pretty crazy
  • “Body builders are drug addicts”
  • Some body builders used to eat baby food
  • Liver is actually a good thing to eat
    • Not going to give you superhuman powers, though
  • Don’t listen to someone who starts their day off by injecting themselves with drugs
    • Insulin (if they aren’t diabetic), steroids, etc.
  • One fad is making carb the main event of a meal
    • This was NEVER supposed to be the way
    • A relatively new phenomenon

THE ANGRIEST TRAINER 344: LISTENER QUESTIONS

by Vinnie Tortorich

Before Vinnie and Anna get to Listener Questions, they do a bit of chatting about a cornucopia of topics such as “Vaginal Steaming” and “It is now illegal to name your child Nutella in France”. Hang in there, because they do cover some excellent listener questions. Listen and learn…

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

QUESTION FROM SUZANNA HUTCHINSON

  • You have recipes that sound great, but some call for coconut sugar. I thought on NSNG you couldn’t have any sugar. What’s the deal?
  • This is a lifestyle, not a diet. It’s not a “never have sugar again” proposition
  • We put “life into living” and have those treats during celebrations and parties
  • All sugar will cause a glucose shift so it helps to balance it with fat

ANOTHER QUESTION FROM SUZANNA

  • She is 71 and eats very little sugars and grain.
  • Show focuses on younger people. What about older people?
  • You can still lose weight after 60.
  • You can work out the same amount as you did when you were younger but it will take you longer to recover
  • Remember to stretch even for 10 minutes…it will help you stay young

WHAT NOT TO EAT DURING WINTER SEASON

  • Try to eat foods that are in season. They are healthier and taste better
  • Today we can get anything year round We lose touch with what’s in season
  • Vinnie challenges many items on list

QUESTION FROM AARON CAMPBELL

  • Challenges Vinnie’s description of what a stress fracture is
  • Aaron contends it is tiny cracks in the bone
  • Vinnie had said it was where the tendons pull away
  • However, he agrees with Vinnie that the only thing to do is rest and ice
